Anyone who's ever played Planescape: Torment knows that the Githzerai are way more interesting.

Nah. I read someplace that they designed the githzerai to be like the githyanki, except "for queers."

What about...

Um.

Yeah, okay. You have a point there.

Planescape Torment is my very most favorite video game ever. It's an RPG so you twitch gamers probably aren't smart enough for it.

As for the Fiend Folio: no love for the Flumph?

(I kid. I kid.)

What was that module with the Githyanki and Fedifensor? That has to be the coolest name for a sword ever.

Yeah, I think that was just called "Fedifensor," and it was in Dragon magazine. Great adventure. Put the Githyanki on the map, and I think led to Planescap and all that.

It made the Astral Plane seem cool instead of just teh ghey.

Fedifensor ROCKED! I still remember that module, with the sword, and the cool Gith fort, and the awesome backstory.
I wonder if it's online anyplace.

Fedifensor was in Dragon issue #67.

You can get it on the now out of print Dragon magazine archive issues 1-250. This will never be available online or for sale anywhere other than ebay because back in the day Dragon magazine didn't secure all the rights to the ads, comics, and articles. When they released the CD-ROM archive, the company Kenzer and Co. got some lawyers together and basically gave TSR (now WotC) the big legal threat. TSR caved and that's why Kenzer's game setting Kingdoms of Kalimor is "official" D&D.

Not that I suspect anyone gives a crap.

I also suspect Atrios has much cooler people than me commenting. Then again, that isn't setting the bar very high.

Incidentally, the CD archive is on ebay right now for $78. I peruse mine about once a month as a trip through memory lane. I note that the magazines are stored as unsecure PDFs on the disks, but that is a point of trivia that doesn't warrent exploring, right?

so, anonymous geek, does that mean an imminent appearance on bittorrent?

No.

I'd honestly think that was unethical. I'm not trying to be some kind of holy man here, but as far as I know the law it's illegal to do that.

Now, is it legal to buy the CD-ROM on ebay, copy all the Wormy comics and then put the CD-ROM back up for sale? I do not know. For all I know you could copy the entire thing and resell the CDROM as long as you used the files for personal use, by which I mean yanking off to the Boris Vallejo covers.

I have no idea if it's legally cool to do all that or not. But I do know it would be dang easy.

hm, i see SnarfQuest got collected into a book

I understand that the Supreme Court just made it legal to yank it to a chainmailed elf cover in last year's 8-1 opinion to Weinfarb v. Alabama. Scalia dissented.

O'Connor did draw the line at that sultry-eyed tiefling in Planescape, and I don't see Roberts and Alito changing the opinion; fortunately (or unfortunately), it's even harder to find than the Dragon archive these days.

Not to reveal myself as a complete NERD or anything, but weren't the Slaad Lords (Ygorl and Ssendam) in the Fiend Folio? I was a fan of those guys back when I was actually into that stuff.

I dunno. What about Death Knights and Skeleton Warriors? The Feind Folio was full of, well, sub-par creatures, but those two were pretty fearsome undeadlings.

Now, is it legal to buy the CD-ROM on ebay, copy all the Wormy comics and then put the CD-ROM back up for sale?

I wouldn't think so. To each cow her calf and to each CD its copy. The license to use the material should go with the original CD. But maybe not. I don't do this for a living.

It's out there in usenet land, if you know where to look.

This need for very higher-density tesco travel insurance had been Wests fifteenth-century undoing. Then they relegated Kuranes a horse and overshot him at the head of the cavalcade, and all delayed majestically through the tesco of Surrey and onward toward the region where Kuranes and his tesco motor insurance were born. And in most of the car insurance tesco uk the tesco car insurance quotes were tesco car insurance of beryl and lapis lazuli and sardonyx and carbuncle and primitive-eclogue choice materials, so disposed that the beholder might suffer himself walking over beds of the fiercest flowers.
